This is an extraordinary place with a beautiful and long history. Allegedly, Fryderyk Chopin used to come here with his father, Mikołaj. In their time, the confectionery was located on Miodowa Street. Later, the establishment was moved to the former Hotel Europejski. Today, the interior, beautifully and originally designed by the Spanish studio Lazaro Rosa-Violan, takes one's breath away. The initial intention of the project's authors, namely emphasizing the historical detail of the building while simultaneously giving the whole a contemporary character, has been perfectly realized here.

The confectionery charms with its atmosphere. It is exceptionally luxurious yet with imagination and joy. One might say that all the elements of this space work on the observer's eye like a wonderful madness. The combination of creamy architectural elements with copper definitely distinguishes this venue from other confectioneries in Warsaw.

You can immediately fall in love with this dream of lightness and dream of tasting the sweets sold here. The confectioners' concept combines original French recipes with Polish ones. Enjoy the tasting: cream puffs, cheesecakes, éclairs, pralines, and ice creams. The "Signature Cake" will lead you on the trail of traditional flavors probably served many years ago in the Lourse confectionery but still beloved today: chocolate, candied fruits, and nuts. A visit here is a combination of taste and aesthetic pleasure.

Describing the panorama of Warsaw's confectionery market, one cannot overlook the Blikle company. The beautiful history of bold and passionate entrepreneurs began as early as 1869. The first shop and café were located on Nowy Świat Street, and from the beginning, emphasis was placed on authenticity, elegance, high-level service, all of which, along with excellent products, contributed to the tremendous success and respect for the company in the eyes of customers.

Despite a tumultuous history, wars, communism, and the period of transformation, thanks to the strength and commitment of successive members of the family business, the brand endures. It has permanently ingrained itself in the consciousness of customers as an essential element of Warsaw's everyday life. From its inception, the place has tempted residents with its splendour, elegance, and talent for creating confectionery masterpieces. It has been attracting the "cream of the crop" of Warsaw since the early 20th century.

Blikle's rose-filled doughnuts with orange peel and glazed icing have become poetry, the essence of elegance and coziness, an indispensable family and holiday dessert, a sign of the quality of time spent. In addition to doughnuts, Blikle has always been renowned for its excellent quality coffee offered in many variations, long before the era when this drink of the gods began to be served in plastic cups outside. Today, only the times have changed, and the confectioneries and their traditional products under the Blikle brand still enjoy the highest quality reputation.

This is a well-known and esteemed establishment with the highest standards of work and high-quality desserts and confectionery products developed over the years. It is one of the oldest confectioneries in Warsaw, dating back to 1938. It is renowned for using the highest quality ingredients, which translates into exceptional taste and quality of its baked goods. It offers a wide selection of delicious cakes, tortes, cookies, pralines, macarons, chocolates, as well as unique sweets such as cheesecakes and other pastries. It is appreciated for its traditional recipes, carefully selected ingredients, and aesthetic execution of its products. Excellent coffee is also available on-site, which stimulates action.

Lukullus confectionery has received many prestigious awards and honours for its products, which of course confirms the talents of its confectioners and attests to the quality of its products. In addition to the confectionery, all locations now also offer the opportunity to consume sweets on-site in a pleasant café atmosphere.

The Lukullus brand stands out distinctly in the Warsaw confectionery market with a sense of taste; their products are balanced, offering delicacy while not shying away from interesting flavour compositions. You won't be overwhelmed here by too many components; this talent for flavor harmony, however, does not mean boredom. Here, three to five flavour profiles are enough to create joy for the palate and soul. It is a pleasure to visit Lukullus cafes, which offer warmth, elegant reception, and quality and downright delightful taste of products.

A delightful place for a coffee and cake meeting is Kukułka. The confectionery operates as a joint project of Przegryź and Ale Wino, whose founders have dreamed for years of creating a separate space for their creative confectionery adventures and for customers already familiar and friendly, who eagerly explore the new creative space, those experienced in gastronomy. It turned out great. The cozy and simple venue, with its atmosphere and layout reminiscent of its neighbour Przegryź. Just like at the neighbour's - the "cousin" - here is a tiny mezzanine reached by winding stairs.

Kukułka offers fresh and high-quality ingredients. You can count on light, fluffy desserts and well-composed cakes, cookies, and tortes here. Warsaw loves such pastries. Apparently, one should not leave without trying the eclair! Both its variations, vanilla or blueberry, are worth sinning for. The confectionery also offers an interesting selection of four types of artisanal cakes. They can be ordered for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, or other events.

Everything here is balanced and unpretentious, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the good mood among the staff is palpable, which is important and greatly improves the mood when you visit. The owners are probably aware of their success and are expanding it to Warsaw. Currently, there are already three Kukułka branches in the capital, and we probably won't have to wait long for more.
